SPOILERS FOR NO WAY HOME IN THIS CHAPTER

"A picture was anonymously turned in this morning, and it reveals the shocking truth of who, the masked vigilante, Ronin is."

"This morning a picture was turned in by one of our sources-"

"Earlier today we got news of masked vigilante, Ronin's identity-"

"This is like really, really bad," Iskra said into the phone while flipping through every channel, "We are beyond screwed, Kate. Every enemy he has ever made in that suit is going to be after everyone he's close to, His family, us." Iskra continued, as Yelena entered the room, "Everything ok, Iz..." the blonde's voice trailed off as she saw the news, "Hey Jess, how about you go upstairs and play for a little while, ok?" Yelena asked, and Jessica nodded before running off. 

"Kate, can you add Clint to the call?" Iskra asked moving her phone to the speaker, "Yeah, sure." there was a brief pause before Clint's voice joined the line, "Hello?" he asked, "Please, please, please tell me you have a plan, to make this go away." Iskra said, flipping the channel again, "Kind of, look, you two need to act like none of this is happening, keep your distance, go through your normal everyday motions until I fix this." Clint said, "What?" both Kate and Iskra asked at the same time, "Please, I'll call you when I have something better," he said before hanging up the phone.

"Is he serious?" Iskra asked, "He's right." Yelena said, from the couch, "Go to the coffee shop, keep your heads up, make sure people see you. It's the best way to stay out of it." Yelena continued, and Iskra sighed, "Fine, but the minute anything goes wrong-" "You can take action." Yelena cut her off.

"Meet me at the coffee shop, in five?" Iskra asked, "You're gonna teleport here, aren't you?" Iskra smiled, "You're damn right I am." Iskra said, "Please just don't take me with you when you do that again, that shit was terrifying." Kate said, "See you soon pretty eyes." the redhead smirked, "What? NO, Iskra Romanoff-Hill I swear to God!"

Iskra ended up running into one of the walls in Kate's apartment, "Well, that was a rough landing," Iskra said, standing back up, "Iskra, please don't-" but Kate was cut off when Iskra grabbed her hand and they both landed on the sidewalk in front of the coffee shop. "I hate you." Kate said holding on to Iskra for dear life, "No you don't,  pretty eyes." Kate scoffed, but a smile broke out on her face at the sight of Iskra's, "Whatever, Romanoff-Hill." 

Iskra opened the door, "After you," she motioned, and Kate reached for her hand as she stepped inside, a guy who looked to be about MJ's age, walked in behind them, "Iskra?" he whispered under his breath, "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Iskra asked meeting his brown eyes, "Uh, no, no." he rushed out, "Ok," Iskra laughed a little, "C'mon, Kate," she said leading her over to one of the barstools, "That was weird." Kate said, "I know right, he's probably just seen me on the news or something..." Iskra's voice trailed off, MJ waved at Iskra, once she spotted her.

2015: Midtown High

"You know it was really stupid of you to do that, you could've gotten really hurt," Iskra said looking back at the boy with brown hair, "But it was pretty great too, Flash is a jerk, always has been, probably always will be." the blonde stated, "You should probably go to the nurse though, you might have a concussion."  she stared at his eyes for a moment, "Your pupils aren't dilated which is a good sign, but still." 

He smiled at her slightly, "What's your name?" Iskra asked, "You don't know my name?" he asked with a slight pout, "No, I know your name, I just wanna know if you know your name." she said with an eyebrow raised, "Peter." he said, "Peter..." she said, "Parker." he finished, "Ok, ok good." she nodded, "I'd still go to the nurse though." she noted, "I'm Iskra Rushman by the way." she smiled, "Yeah, yeah, I know...I mean everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows your...your name. Yeah, you're...you're like a legend in the bio-med program." she laughed a little, "That's me."

"Excuse me, Mr. Herrington, Can I have Miss Rushman to the office Please?" she gives Peter another smile, "Nice to officially meet you, Parker, but that's my queue." she said, "Oh yeah...see you..you later."

PRESENT DAY

"Hi, um...I'm Peter Parker, and I..." He paused, MJ just kind of stared at him, Iskra and Kate watching from the bar stools, "Would like a coffee, please." he finished. "Oh, ok no problem, I'll be right back." MJ replied, and walked over towards Iskra and Kate, "Your usual," MJ teased handing Iskra and Kate each a coffee, "Thank you." Kate smiled, "Love you, MJ" Iskra teased, and then MJ went to get Peter's Coffee, "Peter Parker." she said, "Here's your coffee," MJ handed him the cup, "Thank you, um..."

Their conversation continued, "It's so weird, that guy seems so familiar." Iskra said to Kate, "Yeah, very strange." Kate said before glancing down at her phone, "Uh, Iz..." Iskra hummed facing her girlfriend, "It has just gotten so much worse," Kate said handing her phone to Iskra, "They are naming us, you and me, as accessories to Ronin's crimes, what the hell?" Iskra asked in a hushed voice, "What are we supposed to about this?" Kate asked, "I uh, I need to make a call." Iskra said, "I'll be right back," Iskra said kissing Kate's cheek briefly,

Iskra listened to the continuous dial tone, "Come on, pick up, pick up." she whispered, "Hello?" a voice asked, "Hi, Mason, It's Iskra." she spoke, "Ah, mini Romanoff, what can I do for you?" he asked, "Things are getting rough over here, I'm gonna need a back up plan. You still have the list?" she questioned, there was a beat of silence, "I'll see what I can do." he said, "Thank you, you truly are the best." she said, "I know." Iskra rolled her eyes, "Ok, see you probably soon, bye." 

Iskra walked back over, and MJ was talking to Kate, "Speak of the devil," MJ joked as Iskra approached, "So you two were talking about me." Iskra smirked sitting down on the chair, next to Kate, the redhead grabbed her hand, "MJ, was does my girlfriend look terrified?" Iskra asked. MJ shrugged, "I was just telling her all the methods of torture I would use on her, if she breaks your heart." Iskra laughed, "Aww, you just got your first speech, welcome to the world of dating me."

"Don't worry, I was joking...mostly." MJ said side eyeing Kate, "So, did you get your letter yet?" MJ asked Iskra, "Yeah! I just uh can't bring myself to open it." Iskra said pulling the letter out of her bag, "Why didn't you tell me it came!" Kate exclaimed wacking Iskra in the shoulder, "I'm sorryyyy" Iskra pouted, and MJ took the envelope while the two of them were distracted, she opened it keeping the perfect poker face, "I'm sorry... that you are totally awesome, and we are totally sharing a dorm!" MJ exclaimed, "Wait, really?" Iskra exclaimed taking the letter, "Oh my God!"

Their happiness was interrupted, when a police officer walked into the small coffee shop, "Iskra Romanoff-Hill? Kate Bishop?" Iskra sucked in a breath, "Can I help you with something?" Iskra asked, "I have a warrant for your arrest." he said, "Do you now? On what charges?"

"Ascsorry to Murder, and destruction of City owned property."
